This is a helpful guide on diet and exercise so as to manage blood pressure naturally. However, there is great advice about the different medications to control blood pressure and the effects they may have on some patients.
The section on exercise made it particularly clear that there are some forms of exercise that are more beneficial than others. That is a real eye opener.

Published in 2000, this book is full of outdated advice. Fat-phobic, pro industrialized seed oils.

However. There was a curious anecdotal finding that a week of eating 4 stalks of celery a day reduced a patient's blood pressure from 158/96 to 118/82. That's an experiment I'm willing to make. If it works on my borderline hypertension, I'll come back and add a star to my rating.

A well written--if slightly outdated--treatise on hypertension and natural ways to correct it. My own BP is in the mild hypertension range and I am implementing the solotions outlined. A helpful book for those with high BP.

This book gives alot of good information on how to control high blood pressure without the use of prescription drugs. Unfortunately, I have done most of them, but still have to take the lowest dose of Amlopidine to control it. I am going to work on more meditation (actually since I am not doing ANY meditation right now, that would be helpful!)
